Five facts
1. Aston Villa's last three home fixtures against Ipswich Town have all finished 2-1 to the hosts, the most recent of which came in a 2013 FA Cup tie.
2. Burton make their first trip to Brighton in what will be the third meeting between the clubs. The Brewers have lost both without scoring, suffering 3-0 and 1-0 home reverses.
3. Fulham and Wigan have played out four consecutive draws with four different scorelines. A 1-1 draw began the streak, before 3-3, 2-2 and 0-0 stalemates.
4. Preston have lost six straight games against Brentford, including a 5-0 hammering in September's reverse fixture. The Bees have a 15-2 aggregate scoreline in that period.
5. The home side hasn't emerged victorious in any of the last six between Reading and Barnsley. The visitors have taken all three points in five of those, with the exception being a 1-1 draw at Oakwell in 2013.
